Thought from the Word

“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.”

Let us look back to what we were without Christ.We were slaves of sin and Satan!We were enemies to God! How dreadful our eternal doom — the lake which burns with brimstone and fire!Let us look to what we have in Christ. In our present relation we are the children of God.We have a high standing it is in the heavenly places in Christ.Our glorious privilege is justified from all things.Our fixed destiny is to be forever with the Lord!There should be no comparison for with Christ we have what really counts for eternity.
